What to study
The only command menu in either trailer, and the frame the set was missing: the Boost prompt (LB) sits above the action list, Attack shows its x4 hit count with the weapon icon, and Merchant Skills names the job, so the whole decision — boost, hit count, job skill — is one small floating panel that never covers the enemy. Matches the Octopath Traveler II battle-menu record (hud-gameplay, action-list). Frame at 84.7s in the ESRB EN - Launch Trailer (Steam). Flaw: the ice cave bloom washes the scene bright, but the menu itself is crisp.

No OCTOPATH TRAVELER (2018) video/image posting guideline found (two web searches, 2026-11-06). Square Enix publishes per-title guidelines; the nearest sibling, OCTOPATH TRAVELER II Guidelines for livestreaming and posting videos/images (https://www.square-enix-games.com/en_GB/documents/octopath-traveler-ii-guidelines-for-livestreaming-and-posting-videos-images), permits personal non-commercial use only — no commercial or for-profit use, no use under a corporate body name, no cutscene-only content, with the legal line '© 2023 SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.' and spoiler warnings for major story points. An ad-supported gallery is arguably outside that personal-use grant, so no Square Enix permission is claimed. Fallback: keeper frames are stills from the official Steam trailers, unofficial, not endorsed, takedown honoured within 48h. All 13 keepers are gameplay HUD, none are cutscenes.
